Nature’s Spirit Elk Rump Hair

Premium hollow elk hair for buoyant dry flies, caddis and attractor patterns

Nature’s Spirit Elk Rump Hair is a top-quality natural fly-tying material, hand-selected for its hollow structure, strength and natural taper. Sourced from the rump section of the elk, this hair offers excellent flotation and durability, making it a go-to choice for tying classic and modern dry fly patterns where buoyancy and profile matter most.

Favoured by experienced fly tiers, elk rump hair is slightly stiffer and more resilient than deer hair, providing superior wing support, improved visibility and long-lasting performance on the water.
